Places to see in ( Avignon - France ) Musee du Petit Palais
The Musée du Petit Palais is a museum and art gallery in Avignon, southern France. It opened in 1976 and has an exceptional collection of Renaissance paintings of the Avignon school as well as from Italy, which reunites many primitives from the collection of Giampietro Campana. It is housed in a 14th-century building at the north side of the square overlooked by the Palais des Papes.
Named Petit Palais to distinguish it from the Palais des Papes, the original structure was built during the period of the Avignon Papacy by Cardinal Bérenger Fredoli the Elder in around 1318–20. The palace and a few neighbouring buildings were bought on de Frédol's death in 1323 by Cardinal Arnaud de Via, nephew of the reigning Pope John XXII. When de Via died in 1335 Pope Benedict XII bought the building for use as the episcopal palace. The subsequent building work created an interior close to that of the present configuration with four wings around a cloister and a service court.
The building suffered during its use from 1396 as a fortified citadel during the Western Schism, and was a wreck by the time the war ended in 1411. In the second half of the 15th century, Bishop Alain de Coëtivy and his successor, Giuliano della Rovere (the future Pope Julius II) carried out restoration work, giving the Palace more or less its present appearance by 1503. Della Rovere arrived in Avignon in 1474, having been made bishop of Avignon and papal legate of Avignon by his uncle Pope Sixtus IV. He added new south and west facades in Italian Renaissance style (with oculi, a west-facing door surmounted with a triangular pediment, window drip-moldings and his insignia facing south) and, in 1487, a tower (which collapsed in 1767). The Palace became known as the Palace of the Archbishop when the city was promoted to an archbishopric soon after della Rovere took office.
During the French Revolution, the palace was nationalised and sold off, becoming a Catholic secondary school in 1826 and then in 1904, with the separation of the church and the state, a professional and technical school. The building was listed as a historic monument in 1910. The restoration work, began in 1961, was supervised by Jean Sonnier, the chief architect of the Monument historique, the national heritage organization in France.The building opened as a museum in 1976.

3 Days in Paris, France - 3 - Petit Palais, best Art experience in Paris
A real-life travel video by Travel Flix.
On our last day we concentrated on the Petit Palais and the City of Paris Museum of Fine Arts. Like the Grand Palais, which it faces, it was built for the 1900 Exposition Universelle.
The Beaux-Arts style Petit Palais was designed by Charles Girault, and is around an octi-circular courtyard and garden, similar to the Grand Palais. Its Ionic columns, grand porch, and dome echo those of the Invalides across the river. The tympanum depicting the city of Paris surrounded by muses is the work of sculptor Jean Antoine Injalbert.
The Petit Palais has served as a model for other public buildings, notably for the Royal Museum for Central Africa located in Tervuren, Belgium; and the Museo de Bellas Artes (fine arts museum) in Santiago, Chile.
The museum displays paintings by painters such as Rembrandt, Rubens, Nicolas Poussin, Claude Gellée, Fragonard, Hubert Robert, Greuze and a remarkable collection of 19th-century painting and sculpture: Ingres, Géricault, Delacroix, Courbet, Monet, Sisley, Pissarro, Cézanne, Modigliani, Carpeaux, Maillol, Rodin
It's free, uncrowded, peaceful, and beautiful. The Louvre and Musee d'orsay are also fabulous, but here you see a representative, condensed collection, that is manageable, quiet, and inspiring. (and they have a great cafe!)

Avignon - France-Calvet Museum
One of Avignon's major museums is Le Musée Calvet, located in the lower section of Rue Joseph Vernet. It is set in a magnificent 18th-century mansion with collections of fine art and decorative pieces from the 15th through the 20th centuries. There are many excellent paintings here representing most of the important periods of art history. One of the most popular paintings is the large, colorful canvas by Jan Bruegel the Elder, a typical work featuring a busy village scene with lots of different activities going on.
An archaeological branch of this museum, called Le Musée Lapidaire, displays sculpture from ancient Greece, Rome and Egypt inside the chapel of a former Jesuit church, at 27 Rue de la République, a few blocks away. You can stand in the front door and peek at the stone carvings and decorative arts before deciding whether to pay for a closer look.
Paintings from the 19th and 20th centuries are on display at another excellent, small museum, Le Musée Angladon, with masterpieces by Degas, Manet, Sisley, Van Gogh, Cézanne, Picasso and Modigliani, among others.
